New Theory Articles Added

As several close to me know, I have been working on a "book" of this hobby for years.   Because life gets in the way quite often and because I'm too much of a perfectionist to consider anything ever "done," I have decided that I would just begin the process of converting my writings over to my webpage, free for the world to see!

I'm such a great guy.  I know. 

So, please forgive the construction in various sections of the website, but this is all a work in progress as I gauge the best format for delivering this content to you.  That said, amidst the mess, I've added the first couple of articles.

Both articles are theory articles, so you will find them on my Philosophy/Theory section of the Articles page.   First, an article for DSLR guys about how to set your ISO for maximum efficiency.   Second, you'll find an article called "Space is a Landscape," which represents the central truth of what I am all about in this hobby.  

Both articles were written long ago and updated to today's standards, but the concepts are very relevant to anybody crazy enough to stick a camera on a telescope!

Hope you enjoy!

Thank you Jay, just read your first two articles and it opened my eyes to some things I have been doing wrong. Your explanations are succinct and thorough.
